Jamaican Jerk Chicken Skewers with Lime Crema

Prep: 15m Cook: 12m Total: 27m Serves: 4
Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb chicken breast, cubed
• 2 tbsp oil
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tsp jerk seasoning
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
  Lime crema
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• Pinch salt

Directions

1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
2. Cut the chicken into even cubes so they cook evenly.
3. In a bowl, whisk oil, lime juice, jerk seasoning, brown sugar, and salt.
4. Toss chicken in marinade until fully coated. Let sit 10–15 minutes (or up to overnight).
5. Thread chicken onto skewers, leaving small gaps for heat circulation.
6. Heat the grill or skillet to medium-high. Oil grates/pans lightly.
7. Cook skewers 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes for even browning.
8. Make crema: stir sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
9. Let skewers rest 2 minutes (juicier). Drizzle with crema and serve.
